FOX’s Human Target and 24 Lose NFL Lead-in

On Monday, the NFL announced that the Sunday late game (NFL: AFC Divisional Playoff matchup) on January 17th would be carried by CBS, not Fox as originally planned. That means FOX won’t be able to use the Playoff game to boost the series premiere of Human Target at 8:00 p.m. and the season nine premiere of 24 at 9:00 p.m.

FOX will instead run an encore of 24‘s seventh season finale at 7:00 p.m. on that night, followed by the previously mentioned premieres.
